Screening has explicit human oversight: it does not auto-reject. It publishes real prices, unusual in this sector: a free plan and a Pro plan from $60 per user monthly for the notes product, though cost rises depending on which agents you activate. ## What Metaview is and how it works Metaview launched in 2018 in London as an interview notetaker: it automatically transcribes and structures what gets said in a hiring interview, so the recruiter doesn't have to take notes by hand while talking to the candidate. Over time it has expanded into a four-agent platform: Notes (interview notes), Sourcing (finding and reaching out to passive candidates), Application Review (screening incoming applications) and Reports (hiring analytics). Application Review's design deserves a separate mention: it is built with explicit human oversight, meaning it does not auto-reject any candidate, instead supporting the recruiter's decision. It targets recruiters, hiring managers and executive search firms, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. ## What using it is like day to day The thing that sets Metaview apart most from other AI hiring tools is that it publishes real prices, with a free plan that genuinely works without paying. That is rare in a sector where most serious tools sell only by demo. Client cases like Brex's, which reports saving more than a thousand hours, back adoption with concrete figures, though those are figures Metaview itself publishes. The most repeated complaint is that cost feels high, mostly because each agent (notes, sourcing, screening) has its own pricing table and total spend depends on how many you contract. There are also occasional reports of transcription issues with strong accents or non-English languages. ## Pricing and plans The notes product, the most established and most widely used, has a free plan with 25 calls a month and basic transcription, and a Pro plan from $60 per user monthly with unlimited calls and priority processing. The Enterprise plan publishes no figure: it is "tailored." The general pricing view, centred on the Sourcing agent, shows a different structure (Free, Pro at $100, Max at $300), confirming that Metaview's final cost depends on which agents get activated, not a single plan. This listing cites the notes product's price as the most representative of the tool's origin and most widespread use. ## Who it is for (and who it is not for) It fits recruiting teams wanting to stop taking notes by hand in interviews and structure the process, and who value seeing a real price before deciding, something most competitors don't offer. It does not fit anyone needing the total cost already calculated without checking several pricing tables, nor teams interviewing mostly in non-English languages or with strong accents, where transcription can fail more. ## Alternatives to Metaview [Workable](https://serchai.com/en/reviews/workable/) solves a broader problem: not just interview notes, but the full hiring process with an agent that sources and screens. [Fireflies](https://serchai.com/en/reviews/fireflies/) is a cross-industry meeting-transcription alternative, useful if the hiring interview is just one of several meeting types that need documenting. ## Verdict Metaview does something almost no AI HR tool does: showing the price before asking for a demo. That, combined with a screening design with explicit human oversight, makes it easy to evaluate and defend to a legal team. What is worth being clear on before contracting is that the entry price is not the final cost: each agent is billed separately, and you need to add them up before deciding what you will really pay. ## Alternatives - [Workable](https://serchai.com/en/reviews/workable/) — The hiring platform with an AI agent that sources, screens and qualifies candidates.
